Comments on: AT&T Fuze caught in the wild, targeted for a release near Black Friday? http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/11/04/att-fuze-in-the-wild/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:42:13 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Evilhomer http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/11/04/att-fuze-in-the-wild/comment-page-1/#comment-314937 Evilhomer Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:59:34 +0000 http://www.boygeniusreport.com/?p=7064#comment-314937 @Sean: I can only comment to what is posted. If that's wrong it's not my problem. If I need to wait 48 hours for "retractions/editing" to respond to posts, then it's not much of a blog, is it? So if you are quick to point out that the posts have changed, and I wasn't the first poster, you might have taken that into consideration before opening your big mouth about MY post. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, stop eating my ass and go back to eating yo' momma's. @Sean: I can only comment to what is posted. If that’s wrong it’s not my problem.

Sure, i notice the "?" now, but as you'll note from Kelly's reply, she's "edited the title". Now if that english is a bit hard for you, I'll translate - that means that the words you're reading have changed. In other words, they are...say it with me now... not the same... So before calling people morons perhaps you should actually figure out what is going on. And don't open your mouth unless you have something value-added to say.

If you guys are going to have to write at a third grade level for some of these jokers then you might as well hang it up now. People: This site's roots are based in rumor and leaked information. This is not the official release site of any company. Sometimes they report official and verified information but it is generally indicated as such. Did anyone complaining notice the question mark at the end of the header of this post? @Kelly: Don’t apologize to morons who can’t figure out the difference between a rumor post and an offical announcement.

I will re-iterate again that this is a rumor. We edited the title so no one jumps to the wrong conclusion. I apologize to those who thought we were confirming a Black Friday release from the title. It is NOT slated for release on Black Friday. The rumor says the Fuze will hit At&T in the next few weeks and be available sometime near/around Black Friday. Some more clarification for you all.

The title of the post had me thinking a Black Friday release date had been confirmed. I'm as anxiously awaiting this device as anyone else. You might be interested to know there is a new eBay auction for a pre-release fuze: http://cgi.ebay.com/AT-T-HTC-Fuze-Pre-Release-Cell-Phone_W0QQitemZ160296411506QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160296411506&_trkparms=72%3A1234|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 To me, that shows some (albeit highly circumstantial) evidence some guy is trying to unload his pre-release version before the actual release date, which hopefully coincides with when the auction ends.

Boy Genius, I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed with this article. The thread on XDA developers is about 1200 posts long and this guy (the one who provided these excellent pictures) makes 1 post on the website and now it's being reported as if it's gospel? I thougth BGR used more reliable sources than that... For those who have followed that thread you'll know that no date is to be trusted. However it seems to me Nov 7th is the most likely date given that the Bold was released today and they probably don't want to rain on RIMM's parade.

As with the iPhone, I'll let the early adopters work out all the bugs. Same thing I did when I got the TyanII/Tilt. I waited a couple of months for the "new" to wear off, sort out the bugs, and price came down. I don't think there will be as many glitches with the touch pro/Fuze, but with the holidays coming up, unless they sell it for a lot less, even with the rebates, in this economy, and who knows about next year, I'm holding onto what money the government still allows me to keep.
